As a member of Cochran's band, Byrne has toured the country multiple times opening up for a who's who of today's country music stars.

Byrne founded Nostalgic Distortion in October 1994 during his first year at Plymouth State (University) in Plymouth, NH. The band was active for ten years until Byrne moved to Nashville in October of 2004. In 2013, Nostalgic Distortion began performing annual reunion shows each October to raise money for the ANDY'S ARMY Walk Team for the JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes (Concord, NH).
